All these name threads got me thinking...
Did your parents ever tell you what your name would have been had you been born the opposite sex? Or, did they have a toss up between naming you the name you have and another?
Had I been a boy, my mom said my name would have been Seth. She never did get a boy, but when she got a male cat, she named him Seth.

I would've been Paul Sebastian 
They also did not even have a girl name and kinda just pulled Cynthia out of thin air on the spur of the moment.

That's an easy question to answer.
I'm the second of four girls, and each time the boy's name they had picked out was Joel Robert. Joel, because my dad's very best college friend died in a car accident as a very young adult, and Robert is my dad's name.
No, they wouldn't have had two Joel's, it's just that, obviously, since they never even used Joel, they had no need to pick out a second boy's name.
I used to think that if and when I had a son, I might like to name him Joel for my parents.

My mom wanted to name me Heather, but my dad wasn't a fan so they decided on Michelle. I am glad I like Michelle a lot more than Heather. The only boy name they had picked out and never got to use was Isaac James.

I think my mom told me they had Joshua Michael picked out if I were a boy. (probably the #1 and #2 names of 1981, LOL).

I don't think my mama ever picked out a boy's name. Not sure though. I know she did say that she almost named me Genine Victoria. I much prefer my name, Desiree Leonora.

Not sure about if I was a boy. I'll have to ask my mom sometime.
She also really liked the name Carolyn though, so I almost ended up as that.

My dad wanted to name me Elaine. But if I picked out my own name, I'd call me, Amanda :)
Since both my sister and I are adopted, they didn't have to worry about what sex we were. HOWEVER, my sister and I found out our real names before our parents had them changed legally.
My original name was Susan Marie (which I do like cause my mom is Marie) and my sister had two names (Anne first; apparently the foster mom changed it to Karen Ann).

I was supposed to be Raymond Curtis if a boy, then my sister was, yet somehow my brother ended up being a Seth... *shrug*

But they did have trouble settling on names.
